McDonald's (MCD -0.82%) has 10 million pounds of Mighty Wings it needs to sell soon.
The wings, which represent 20% of the chicken wings produced for a promotion, are in frozen storage, writes Julie Jargon at The Wall Street Journal.
McDonald's was "unable to sell enough," according to Jargon.
Earlier this year, CEO Don Thompson said that the chicken wings aren't the smash success it had hoped for.

Donate it to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and write the donations off their taxes.

I’ll take 10 lbs off their hands if they’re cheap.

Red Bull should buy them, and give them away.

I don't think they'll ever fly again! ;) Someone described them as "Too spicy Chicken McNuggets, with bones".

At first, I read the headline too fast and thought that they were stuck with 10 million pounds of wigs.

They were terrible and overprices. If they gave them away I still wouldn’t eat another one.

Have a Duck Commander Wing-Ding special, your choice of sauces.
They’ll sell.

Price: In McDonald's terms, Mighty Wings are a premium product. The wings come in packs of three for $3.69, five for $5.59, and 10 for $9.69. Thompson said the prices, which are similar to Buffalo Wild Wings, were “not the most competitive.”This right here is why McD's is sitting on 10 million pounds of wings.

Ok, so the product was test-marketed somewhere. And someone decided to buy 10M pounds later
Tough (next) day at the office, for them. Oh, well . . . Merry Christmas everybody!
